Naomi L. - Wonder Woman is important because she, more than any other superhero, embodies the ideals of superheroism. She has no dark history that compels her, like Batman. She doesn't need to pretend to be a bumbling fool like Superman. She is always strong, always brave, always clever, always compassionate. She doesn't need to explain or justify what she does; she does it for its own sake. Also I have a daughter; her life, her dreams and her self worth are made better by knowing about a woman who fights evil, and who can't even imagine why she should leave that to the boys.
